It's a pity that they haven't gotten a trailer for her 2 cart more people around

Fantastic Vid. I do enjoy the camera angles that give me an all around perspective of operations.

It was great watching the steam tram. One query- It looked like there were 2 track gauges. Could you please tell me what they are, and if practicable, which cities that would have used them?

Mervyn Partin yes U r correct there r 2 track gauges at MOTAT Main one being 4'8 1/2" & the other being 4" most NZ Cities used the 4' 8 1/2" except Wellington which was 4' Dunedin being the Scotland of the south they were so tight there track gauge was 4' 8" they couldn't afford the extra 1/2" Gisborne was 4' Gauge Wanganui/New Plymouth 4' 8 1/2" Napier was the same as NZ Rail being 3' 6" Christchurch 4' 8 1/2" Lastly Invercargill was 4'8 1/2" I hope this help as I was told with Wellington being 4' was because they were so narrow minded - Ref.

Thank you for that reply, Paul. I was intrigued by the different gauges and and enjoyed your amusing comments on the reasons for the narrower gauges. I have only been to MOTAT once and that was in 1975. New Zealand is such a lovely country and I wish that I could have visited more often, the second time only being in 2016. Thanks again...Mervyn

I notice the trolley pole on the double decker tram being backwards? Any reason for this?

its only for the last few meters coming into the stop. There is no room to turn it with the shelter in the way, :)
